In the sense that our favorite design practices have always been the ones that span multiple disciplines — the theory being that the most creative people can’t help themselves from having their hands in too many pots — we were pretty much fated to love Office of BC. The studio was established six years ago in Los Angeles when Lindsey Chan, an interior and furniture designer who’s worked for Anna Karlin and Willo Perron, teamed up with Jerome Byron, an architect and furniture designer who’s exhibited with Carpenter’s Workshop, to focus on joint interiors projects like the LA bar Stir Crazy, the art gallery Francis Gallery, and several private homes. Both have kept their individual practices, though, Byron’s now centered in Berlin and Chan’s still in LA. Byron recently showed a fiberglass and washi paper lamp in Hannah Martin’s Curated section for Collectible NYC this past fall, while Chan made a fire screen for a recent project and consults for fashion brands on the side. Somehow they still have energy left to devote to everything on BC’s docket for 2026: a Neutra house in LA, a Brutalist apartment in NYC, a beach house in the Hamptons, and several hospitality projects. Sleep when you’re dead, they say.
